A step too far for hapless motorist

A HAPLESS motorist went a step too far to find a parking space in Cork city.

The car ended up teetering precariously over two metre-high steps outside the offices of a prominent legal firm.

The incident happened at the weekend when a Volkswagen Polo carrying up to four people went out of control at the junction of the Grand Parade and the South Mall. The driver apparently lost control on cobbles as he was driving down the mall. Eyewitnesses said the car wheels spun sending the vehicle onto the wrong side of the road.
